Mr. Robertson is currently the managing director of Human Resources, and succeeds Edgar Schmidt, who served as Superintendent for six years.

The Board was impressed by Mr. Robertson’s core values and beliefs, and feels his skill set brings an ideal combination of education and business knowledge, but also humanity and compassion to his new role.
